The UK imported 31.4 million kilograms of polymers of vinyl acetate in aqueous dispersion in primary forms in 2023. The forecast for 2024-2028 demonstrates a consistent increase: 32.913 million kilograms in 2024, 33.452 million kilograms in 2025, and reaching 35.005 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year growth, with values such as 1.6% from 2024 to 2025, 1.6% from 2025 to 2026, and reflecting a compound annual growth rate of about 2.2% over five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental regulations impacting production and importation practices.
- Technological advancements in polymer applications and substitutes.
- Potential trade policy changes affecting import volumes.
